This one will be a Valentine’s Day edition and will be held on Saturday, February 14 at noon. Our goal is to keep building momentum so that we can bring about real, positive change in the way childhood cancer research is funded.

Please mark your calenders for February 14! We hope you will join us in Bethesda, MD. The rally will be near the Medical Center Metro station on the red line. Thank you for being a voice for all children fighting cancer!

The Read-a-Thon is now underway and is open to children of all ages.

This Read-a-Thon is inspired by cancer fighter Hope Veazey and her sisters Joy and Peace. The girls were looking for a way to have fun this summer and help kids with cancer at the same time. 100% of the funds raised through this program will go directly to childhood cancer research.

PCS senior and Truth 365 volunteer Stefania Mennella launched this campaign with the help of her fellow students.

PCS is unique in that it specializes in educating students who are simultaneously pursuing artistic careers. We are grateful that these talented students have volunteered to be a voice for all children fighting cancer. We will be posting more photos in the coming days and weeks.

Special thanks to Sophia Stefanopoulos and 24 of her classmates for appearing in our series of ads. Hats off to New York photographer Nick Ruechel for donating his time and talents for this project. Props to Andrea Verdone for connecting us with Nick. Also thank you to Alex Shaurette, head of the upper school at PCS, for allowing Stefania to carry out her vision. Last but not least, thank you to cancer survivor Ali Trotta who is featured in the frame that Sophia is holding.

Today we joined the Ellyn and Mark Miller at the Fox News studios in Washington, DC. They will appear on national television this Sunday as part of a feature on “Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.” During the interview Ellyn pulled out Gabriella’s personal notebook and read a passage that was unbelievable. Even after she knew she was going to die, Gabriella was focused on helping other children with cancer. We will post more details later but tune in on Sunday morning to see the interview.

http://www.thetruth365.org/2014/03/26/dear-mr-president/#commentsWed, 26 Mar 2014 20:40:14 +0000http://www.thetruth365.org/?p=1533Cole doesn’t give up easily and neither do we. We are re-posting his letter with a different photo just in case the President was busy last week and didn’t have time to check his Facebook.

Please share this post so that Cole’s Letter Reaches President Obama. We are confident that he will eventually sign the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act but every bit of encouragement helps! Here is Cole’s very compelling letter…

Dear Mr. President,

My name is Cole and I am 13 years old. You and I have some things in common. Like you, I have mixed heritage, my mom is a single mom, and I love playing sports. Like you I’ve always been really advanced in school and I believe I have a purpose to make a difference in the world.

I bet your childhood wasn’t always easy, and for me, I have the challenge of fighting cancer. I have battled a rare childhood cancer for more than half of my life. My doctors never expected me to survive this long, but I defied the odds. But in all these years there’s been almost no progress made in treating my cancer. And I’m not alone. Lots of kids I know have fought hard and many died anyway. Lots have bad lifelong effects from their treatments.

Today there are over 40,000 kids actively fighting cancer in this country. We desperately need funding and research so kids like me have a chance at growing up and being healthy. Kids are our future – future leaders, researchers, doctors, engineers and philosophers.

We are losing so much potential, kids lives who may have changed the world. Kids like me, Gabriella Miller, Talia Castellano and so many more… Who knows?… I could be the next Barack Obama.

Please help me and the many others kids like me so we have a fighting chance against cancer. The Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act is on its way to your desk. Please sign this important legislation which will help children fighting cancer and other pediatric illnesses.
